The Paleo diet is something that has been around well since man first started to eat. This diet is essentially a Hunter/Gather diet.
The theory being to eat like our ancestral Caveman and reap the benefits of a clean healthy unprocessed diet. Through this diet Loren Pordain, PHD (author of The Paleo Diet) claims we will be leaner, and less likely to get diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other diet related health problems. This diet is also known as the caveman diet, it is a high protein, high fiber diet that will lead to weight loss. When following this diet it is important to NOT eat ANY processed food and be weary of salt. Wheat,sugars, salts and dairy products-with the exception of fresh eggs- are prohibited as well. Our Caveman ancestors were not farmers therefore grains, wheat, dairy are all a no-go for the Paleo diet. Below is an info-gram to assist you Paleo Junkies when grocery shopping! #SoaringEagleFitness
